Around the Twin Cities with Team in Training

Many of you are probably not aware of my involvement with Team in Training or even know what Team in Training is. Team in Training is a program through the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society that trains participants to either run a marathon, do a century ride, or a triathalon, and in exchange the participants raise money for a good cause. I joined up with Team in Training this summer as a tribute to my father and agreed to run a marathon this December in Honolulu Hawaii.

I am really excited for this event and fulfilling a dream of mine, but even more so I am excited about the new friends I have met and the places I have visited. part of the training program is to run with a group twice a week in various locations. Now as a Realtor I figured I would recognize where we were running. I did not expect to find so many gems in the Twin Cities. There is something to being on foot rather than in the car and being able to see your surroundings!

Many of the places I had kind of heard of but had never taken the time to visit. Below are three of the highlights of my training locations!

We have trained along Minnehaha creek. which many of you have heard of Minnehaha falls but there is a beautiful trail which runs along the creek all the way to lake Harriet. It is down below the road and easy to miss by car. I would recommend this walk for everyone including the kids!

Another spot we have trained is from Minnehaha falls to the river and along the river to below Fort Snelling! Another great spot, especially this time of year with the leaves changing color.

The last spot I wanted to mention was the Kennilworth trail in uptown. I have used the portion that goes from around 394 to just past Hwy 7 or Lake Street. You can bike, run, or walk any of these trails and it is a beautiful way to get outdoors before winter chases many of us in!!!

Please feel free to call or email with any questions. You can visit my Team in Training website at www.active.com/donate/tntmn/tntmnCKuhn. Any donations are greatly appreciated. On a professional note please feel free to visit my website at www.watersrealtymn.com for up to date real estate information!
